Ecosystem Preservation versus Conservation Earth is composed of many different ecosystems and each one is a "dynamic complex of plant‚ animal‚ and micro-organism communities interacting with the non-living environment as a functional unit" (Protecting Threatened Ecosystems‚ 2004). These ecosystems are an intricate part of the human lifecycle as they provide us with our water‚ food and energy. Since mankind is in a take and take some more relationship with the ecosystems‚ many of them have had their

The Law of Conservation of Mass Goals: 1. To identify the parts of a chemical equation. Students need to identify subscripts‚ coefficients‚ reactants‚ products‚ chemical formulas‚ and chemical symbols 2. To appreciate that scientific discoveries are often the result of inquiry. 3. to distinguish between an element‚ a compound‚ and a mixture (and between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures) 4. To balance a chemical equation in order to prove that the Law of Conservation of Mass works quantitatively as well as conceptually

Importance for Wildlife Conservation * Maintains ecological balance & the organisms have their unique positions in food chains‚ food webs which keep ecological balance. * Wild life contributes to the maintenance of material cycles such as carbon and nitrogen cycles. * For improvement and progress in agriculture‚ animal husbandry and fisheries the genes from wild life preserved as gene bank are utilised in breeding programmes. * Wild life provides a number of useful products like food‚ medicine

Checkpoint: Conserve and Preserve Tania Torres After make a research about the meaning of terms preservation and conservation I found a lots of debates to the respect. After my research I can define conservation like the wise use of the natural resources maintaining the sustainability of them for future generations. The term preservation can be define as do not use the natural resources and maintain them as natural as possible. In other words avoid the human interference with the natural resources
